Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s apparent decision to speed up his entry into the growing field of 2016 Republican presidential primary challengers is coming at the perfect time, as a new poll out Friday shows him moving into second place behind repeat candidate Mitt Romney.
What’s more, the gap in the new Zogby Analytics poll is tiny, just three percentage points. And Rubio, the freshest hopeful to show a determined interest in the race, is also tied with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
The poll finds that women especially favor Rubio and also that he has a lot of room to gain with men, who typically vote in majorities with Republicans in the general election.
Romney does better among men (20%) than women (13%) and among self-identified Republicans (19%). Bush also does better among men (16%) than women (10%) and gets 14% support among self-identified Republicans (14%). But Rubio is receiving 22% support among women to only 4% of men and does equally well (16% each) among both self-identified Republicans and conservatives.
Compared to some of the names I’ve been called on this website..... “racist” is mild.
You’re out of control, man. You called me a nasty name just for making a mild joke about pollsters.
Thanks. It didn’t seem worth it to respond to a starry eyed liberteen type who apparently has no clue about the damage already done.
For those of us in California and Arizona we have unfortunately seen the future and it ain’t pretty.
And we have also become acquainted with the ways of hispanic politicians like Rubio: say anything to get more of their Raza into the country and voting so they have a power base.
If you can’t build a strong country, why not just steal it?
It’s the Conquistador way. Look what they did to...well, pretty much of all of Central and South America.
The concept that we don’t want that to happen to our country evades him.
We don’t need one of those guys running the United States just because they feel the urge to power.
You trying to buy a ticket to ride the lightning, or what?
BUMP!
I find FR to be very excepting to Catholics.

ROFLMAO naps...... Your statement above just confirmed what the person said whom you were disputing. You better go to dictionary.com and find out the difference in “excepting” and “accepting”.
LOL.... Damn; ya gotta love it.
You nailed it.
I have not made a choice yet, I’m not “so dead set against Ted Cruz”
But
The skill set for the Senate and for the Presidency only overlap on Election Day, and diverge sharply thereafter. It’s not a coincidence that our three “Senator Presidents” were unprepared for the office and in general made a mess of things.
Cruz gives a good speech. The President is not a representative of us, however. That’s Congress’s job.
Yeah, we really “won by losing” in ‘92 didn’t we when we punished the GOP and George H.W. Thanks for giving us the Clintons for life.
Your wording referenced it to me. Proof read before hitting “Post”.
So? It had nothing to do with you. It was a joke about what a joke polling is. Get real.
I mean, unless you’re a pollster.
Of course! I never got sucked in by the nut. Bob
Shhhhh, don't ruin their pity party with facts. That is exactly why I left FR. Nobody is ever perfect enough and we got 4 more years of the Muslim Marxist in chief. What do they want? 8 years of Hill and Bill to stack the supreme court? No thanks. I honestly think about 75% of FR is composed o Kos & DU concern trolls.
Amen. Someone that gets it. Doesn’t matter on here, they won’t listen. Rubio scares the hell out of the libs. Why? Because they think he can win. Cruz can’t win. It’s not gonna happen, sorry. He would be my first choice since Gowdy isn’t running but he can’t win. Walker, mmmmm,maybe,doubt it. We need a candidate that can WIN. 8 years of Hillary, it’s all over. The courts will all be so left it will take a generation to change it. That’s it, I’m out of here. Back to where I can do more good.
The two Bushes DESTROYED conservatism IN THE gop, and THAT will outlast the rapist.Both are still sucking up to the Clintons as well. You don’t even qualify as a RINO. Get lost.
You don’t even qualify as a RINO. Get lost.

Oh, you’re one of those old farts who thinks that because they have longevity here on FR you can tell people who disagree with you to “get lost”. Well, why don’t you just bite me punk?

No, I just know a class A phony when I see one, and you qualify with bells on. Your posting history is all one needs.
Wow. Looks like the RINO faction is angling for a revival.
Pretty lame attempt, but ...
